I was expecting a router table build, so I waited. Good thing I did. Not only was I able to understand fully the extent of the importance of wood grain, but now I know how to start building, not just a router table, but EVERYTHING else. The irony of it all is that it doesn't need to be shown. You just had to LISTEN.

Clear and very useful explanation of how to get the best result from a plank. Learned a lot again. Thank you very much for this. I live in Flanders (Belgium) and although I grew up with the metric system, we were taught in the 2nd or 3rd year of primary school that a dozen dozen equals 144 (a gros). That was in the years 1962 or 1963. I have the impression that such things are much less learned nowadays.

Thanks & yep.

This has been the clearest explanation of the grain direction and what that means to the final piece you are making.

Very interesting. First time I've heard someone explain this so clear. Thanks!

Southern Yellow Pine has a mind of its own, I use it all the time and love it.

Brilliantly explained. These project based lessons are a really good format, but still excellent as standalone videos. Keep up the great work.

I thought this tutorial was excellent. I was never taught about grain direction. I am mostly self taught and learn the hard way with some disappointment. Thank you for making it worth the effort to learn and do it right. Thanks again, Lauren

agree 100% about the southern yellow pine. I moved to South Carolina from Illinois and was blown away by the quality and price of SYP. All we could get in IL was spruce-pine-fir. Which means no consistency and lots of knots.

Thank you. I am learning so much. I was a machinist - aerospace - and had to think about how castings behaved during metal removal. You are clearly describing analogous phenomena in woodworking and for that I am deeply grateful.

Lots of good observations here. One thing that I think goes with this approach: clean your tablesaw blade. Resinous wood can make the blade behave as if it were dull more quickly than if you use only hardwood.

What I don’t understand and I’ve seen you do it in multiple videos is tuning you pencil several time along your square/straight edge

force of habit from using knives instead of pencils. I only use pencils when filming so they'll show up.
